Hey, your locs are absolutely beautiful..love the fullness. I saturate my daughters locs with conditioner before going to the pool and I wash it when we get home.

[@thicklen10]

I’m one month into my loc journey! Your videos are the best, in my opinion, of all the Loc’d natural videos I’ve seen!

[@lavenialivinglife]

Yay! Thank you!

[@zainabaliyudalhatu1189]

Hair's gorgeous. My locs are 11 months old, I started with same length as yours and I love the journey so far

[@lavenialivinglife]

Zainab Aliyu Dalhatu Thank you! & Happy Early Locaversary to you!

You’re in good hands!!

[@farinahmomodu9608]

I have 480 locs too and I started on 11 inches of hair ,I'm only one month in and I can't wait to be at you stage. Your hair is beautiful!

LOL...you emotionally detached from a couple locs. Too funny. I combined my SLs in the front and LOVE it!!! I went thru a stage of wearing a locsoc for a few weeks. I liked it because it pulled my locs out of my face, so I get that same relief now that I've combined them. The fullness in the front became too much for me. That's one of the reasons I sported a barbered cut for so long. I felt like my hair took over my face (if that makes any sense). I do plan to combine some rows in the back also, but I like the fullness back there so not all of them. This is all to reduce time spent self retightening. Oh, if you're a clay rinse person, I believe there is a clay that removes chlorine. It's either bentonite, kaolin, or rhassoul.

[@lavenialivinglife]

CarrieToo There are moments where I have to remind myself that it’s just hair and that it’ll grow back. Clay huh? Shea butter was mentioned too. These won’t cause build up?

[@carrietoo]

@@lavenialivinglife the key w/clay and locs is to not create a mask (thick) but a rinse (very loose). I'm not a fan of butters. But i've used clay rinses w/my SLs and haven't had a problem.

[@carrietoo]

@@lavenialivinglife If you wanted to try something pre-made, Terressentials makes some good ones.

[@sandieoliver1136]

Your hair is lovely as always, what do you do to keep it from looking frizzy?

[@lavenialivinglife]

Sandie Oliver Thank you! Between twisting it for curls and religiously wearing a cap whenever I lay, that helps to control the frizz👍🏾

[@locdcannin3624]

Your videos are very encouraging. I have my consultation Monday hoping all goes well. I’m in PA, would you recommend your loctician in Phili? The person doing my install won’t be able to follow up🙂

[@lavenialivinglife]

gloria smith I’m glad my videos have been helpful! Why isn’t your consultant doing the follow up? I thought that was a part of the price?? I would definitely recommend Simone and Kady for your locs! Here’s the shop’s contact info: www.beautycoliseum.com/contact/

Hi Lavenia, Are you still braiding and banding when you wash?

[@lavenialivinglife]

Lorrie Matthews Hey! No, I don’t braid and band anymore. I haven’t done so in a long time.

[@patb2582]

You are so pretty... Ugh I want your hair :( how long was your hair at install?

[@lavenialivinglife]

pats cookie Thank you!😉 I started with 8-11 inches of loose hair, 11 towards the middle of my head.

[@patb2582]

@@lavenialivinglife thank you. Can I suggest you put it in the info bar below your videos? :)

[@lavenialivinglife]

pats cookie I’m not sure why I haven’t already done so 😅

[@hawtnsweet]

Love your hair! New subscriber here. How many locs do you have in total? I hear you have to have at least 400 locs to be classified as sister locks. My lock seem to be about the same size as yours, but I have only 237 total. I'm really just trying to get a sense for what my hair would look like once it matures. EDITED: Oops...now this is why you shouldn't comment until you're DONE watching the video. Ignore my question please. Thanks for the info. Praying those two blocs get the memo and get with the program already More grace on your loc journey. Thanks for sharing with us.

I wear a swim cap for the sea . I wash my hair normal in tap water. I want to know what to do for freezy hair baby locks

[@lavenialivinglife]

Criso Wells Try twisting them! Spray them down so they’re slightly damp, twist & let dry. That’ll curl them, stretch them, and minimize the frizz. This helps me anyway!

[@krysw821]

@@lavenialivinglife thank you. I will do that

[@hawtnsweet]

I hear it's good practice to saturate the hair completely with non-salt water and then coat it in shea butter. Regardless, you would still need to wash all that gunk off eventually. Salt water and shea butter are not exactly best for locs.

[@lavenialivinglife]

brown eyed I think I’d be too afraid to use shea butter. I’m hoping water saturation does the trick next time.

[@katsudigital7823]

Hair is looking great! Did you dye it black after the purply-blue color? Thanks

[@lavenialivinglife]

Katsu Digital Thank you! Nope! The purple-blue washed right out. What you see here is my natural color.

[@tabkins]

It does look darker now. Interesting

[@joyk3070]

Am thinking of getting sisterlocks and I do my research am noticed 2 common problem 1. Lint 2. deadhair bulb showing. Please let me know how you deal with those issues

[@lavenialivinglife]

joyce muli For lint, I haven’t had any issues worth mentioning. I’ve just been mindful of the clothes I wear and what I lean against. What are deadhair bulbs? Are you referring to the little ends sometimes barely attached? Doing twist outs masked some of that for me. A lot of times it popped off too but I did not encounter this too often.

[@joyk3070]

@@lavenialivinglife thanks for your reply..with deadhair bulbs I meant the white roots of the hair one loses.

[@lavenialivinglife]

joyce muli Ooooooh that is an issue for me. I just try to embrace them and keep my locs moisturized. Washing my hair tones down the visibility.

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

I just got mine established on the 7th and 8th and we have the same amount of locks. Please check out my journey, I would love advice from someone that has a bit of experience on them.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Your hair looks great. Tomorrow, June 11 is my two year anniversary. Loving it and the length. Also have some thinning locs that don't want to stick around. 🤗
